Identity and Release History

Estée Lauder Cinnabar, released in 1978, is an icon of the perfume world, symbolizing an era of luxury and bold experiments.

This fragrance is created under the brand Estée Lauder — a brand whose DNA embodies American elegance and innovation, being a living legend founded by Josephine Esther Mentzer, known as Estée Lauder.

Cinnabar belongs to the Oriental and Spicy families, making it a rich and timeless choice for perfume connoisseurs seeking depth and character.

Positioning and Character

This Women's fragrance is presented in the concentration of Eau de Parfum, with a Medium trail that softly follows you, creating an aura of mystery and elegance.

Cinnabar is perfect for autumn and winter evenings, when its sweet-spicy notes unfold fully, adding luxury and confidence to your image.

Its complimentability and recognizability make it a favorite among mature women seeking a fragrance with character, which perfectly complements evening attire and special moments.

Creators and Influence

The creation of Cinnabar involved two outstanding perfumers: Bernard Chant and Josephine Catapano.

Their collaborative work brought a unique balance of spices and floral chords to the fragrance, strengthening Estée Lauder's reputation as a creator of timeless masterpieces.

This release reflects the brand's spirit, combining traditions with innovations, and continues to inspire new generations of perfumers, demonstrating how oriental-spicy compositions can remain relevant for decades.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The new version, though less spicy, seems colder and not as sweet as the old one. Before, fragrances had a real soul and character 🌟

A long time ago, this was a really cool scent! Nothing compares, and I wouldn't want it to. Mysterious, enchanting, the sillage is simply killer. Guys react to it much better than ladies

I had the vintage version, and it was just something else! The modern version is a completely different story. It has too many harsh spices, they just scream and hurt your ears. But in the vintage version, everything is much softer and more elegant, the flowers sound so voluminous and bright, it's just amazing. In the new version, they seem to get lost and disappear quickly 🌸
5/5

Cinnabar is just something incredible! It's so rich and multifaceted that every time I apply it, I feel how it changes. Sometimes it flares up brightly, then it becomes softer and more delicate. This constant movement and interplay of scents are simply captivating. It attracts attention and sparks interest. A true delight for the soul! I adore it! ))

I can't stand it on my skin, it just doesn't develop, leaving only unclear notes. But as soon as I drop a tiny bit on my clothes, the fragrance starts to rule the show. It evokes memories that warm the soul. On cold and gloomy days, it wonderfully lifts my spirits, and life seems bright again

This perfume is a real New Year's fairy tale for me! It's so warm and bright, as if it's embracing you. Spices, peaches, jasmine, and honey - simply a magical combination that fills you with joy and inspiration ✨

Hi! I have a question. Why don't you have a *vintage* gradation for Cinnabar by Estée Lauder? Unfortunately, the quality only gets worse each time. The last time I bought it in February, there were problems - the base clearly changed! I'm sure of this because I have something to compare it with: I still have remnants from the 80s, 90s, and even 2000s. I did a small analysis and noticed that the scent only lasts on the skin for 12 hours, while remnants from 2012 still work. Is there any information from Estée Lauder about this? And what guarantees can you provide
4/5
4
I can't wear it on my skin because its base develops completely differently than I'd like. Just one drop on clothes, and then the scent becomes truly beautiful, powerful, and evokes nostalgia. In cold weather, it's great for lifting spirits, even when everything seems gloomy. And just like that, life seems beautiful again
